Land Decisions.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-In the case of
Milo L. Jacobs VS.. the Northern Pacific
railroad, as to a quarter Secti on within
the indemnity limits Of the st. Vincent
extension, Acting Secretary Muldrow
decides i'm favor of Jacobs because the
tract was valid public land when Jacobs
settled on it, his settlement and applica-
ton being both prior to the applications
of the corporation. In the case of
Kelly VS.. HalverSon. involving timber
culture entry in the CrOokston office,
the acting secretary decides in favor of
Haiverson because the testimony of the
contestant, Kelly, is irreconcilable.
Witnesses for HalverSOn disclose state
of facts that necesSitate the allowance
of the claim. In The United States VS..
Peter Gaughran, involving committed
cash entry. the secretary decided in ia
uOr of Gaughran. The claimant was
single man duly qualified to make an
entry. He had complied with the law,
made improvements and cultivated the
tract, and the misspelling of his name
makes no essential difference.
1t is alleged in private official circles
that Lamar objected to the publication
of the report Of the commissioner of the
general land Office before the return
of the president, but Sparks gave it out
today in advanced proof sheets to the
press. The war between Sparks and
Lamar is now made public officially by
the covert animadverSiOnS of Sparks
against Lamar in the marginal foot
notes of the report. Lamar stands very
close to Cleveland, and an open rupture,
it is believed, will bOde ill for Sparks.

PPESToNE, Mimi, Oct. 1.-THE In
dian reservation trouble at this place,
mention of whichwas made in the GLOBE
on "Wednesday and Thursday, has been
the sole topic of conversation in this
city ever since the company of u. s.
soldiers arrived. The Indian reServa-
ton. which lies about one mile north of
this place, consists of tract of land one
mile square, OH which are located the
famous pipeStone quarrieS, and was set
apart for the Iankton Sioux Indians
several years ago. About ten years ago,
through some hook OF crook in the land
office. papers were allowed to be filed
on 100 acres of the land, and in due
course of time patent was issued for
the tract. That patent is now held by
a Mr.. Carpenter, of Minneapolis, but
the matter has been in the courts
for several years. MIR. Carpenter
has never lived on the land nor made
any improvements whatever upon it.
The sQuatters who are now ordered off
are Z. c. GoOdnOw, secretary of the
Willmar Il Sioux Falls Railway Com
pany; II. w. George. George Iluntley,
William Whitehead and w. III. Hocka-
bout. These gentlemen all built houses
OH the land some three years ago, and
have been living there ever since, al
though they have been notified to move
time and again. The Indians have
made such '.kick" about it that Judge

WASHINGTON. Oct. H. The milliners

net has come back TO us, with the reed
birds and ortoian. This year it is only
a little poke. with small and deli
cately curving brim. 1t is just the
thing for a girl to wear who likes to
fiirt and look coquettiSh. The crown is
quite low and is almost hidden by the
profussiOn of trimming which towers
over it and tumbleS down over the back
like cascade. Ostrich tips are not so
much used as last year. and the wings,
feathers and cockades are more in
vogue. The hat is lighter, too. and

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Miss Maude

of Massachusetts,, has just closed sue
cessful week at Albaugh's Grand Opera
house. The audiences during the first
three evenings of the week were large,
enthusiastic and approving in their
smiles and demonstrations. Miss Banks
is an amateur, in fact, although assum-
ing the role of a professional. She has
talent, real ability, no little beauty, and
evinces the genius which triumphs over
all obstacles, the genius of labor. She
has been careful and painstaking
student. Her reading of the lines, not
infrequently, is the reading of school
girl. They are well read, but formal
and self-conscious. The lady has an
excellent voice, which has been carefully
trained. The Orotund tones are culti-
waited. evidently, and are under better
control than women usually attain
Lawrence Barrett is most deficient in
that respect, and always will be, be-
cause of an unfortunate beginning as
an eiOcutionist. Miss Banks has enough
ability and energy to warrant the pre-
diction that she will attain measure of
success far above mediocrity. 1t is too
soon, however, to predict triumphal
march into the hearts of the pleasure
seekers of the entire land.

uninjured. He recovered himself. how

III the force of his office. He asks for
twenty additional special examiners. A
careful computation of the additional
force needed to bring up work in az
rearS and to keep up with the increasing
current business of the Office calls for
an addition of 159 regular and 112 tenn
porary clerks, an increase of 40 perma-
nent clerks and employees. This
force is estimated to be necessary to
keep the work going. The enlarged
force estimated for is needed to bring
up work in arrears. The report con-
cludes as follows: There has been no
period since 1870 or earlier when the
clerical force of the general land office
was equal or nearly equal to the work
before it. The time has come when it
is absolutely essential that more ade-
quate provisions be made. 1t is my
duty to represent truthfully to congress
the needs of the Office and to leave with
that body the responsibility of provid
